Four hearts fueled by a common desire. Four minds thinking individually and acting collectively. Four musicians harvesting emotions from their souls and pouring them out together to create a sky of sound for the listener to travel across, this is Glasshouse Owl (GHO). Just like their hometown of Chicago, GHO combines elements of blues, soul, and grunge to create an energetic style of rock.  When the world was thrown off its axis, this group of friends set out to create something lasting, to share stories through song in hopes to be a light in otherwise uncertain times. Composed of lead vocals/keys/rhythm guitarist Mike Bargas, lead guitarist Mike Desantis, bassist David Painter, and drummer Mike Pescetto, GHO is a band who hopes to fill its listeners with energy and emotion.  With dirty, distortion-filled guitars, vibrant keys, grooving bass lines, and melodic vocals with a growling delivery that could rise to a stunning bellow all over hard-hitting, pulsing percussions, GHO has created a style of rock that doesn’t check one box. Floating through a galaxy of genres, inspired by the sights and sounds, GHO is on a mission of musical exploration. An open invitation is issued to the listener. Ears up. Wings out. Onward.

Elephant Lore is a 4-piece, Chicago-based rock band founded in Spring 2021 by childhood friends Eddie Fay (vocalist/rhythm guitar) and Yona Gidalevitz (lead guitar) with Anthony James (drums) and Quinton "Q" Cajigas (bass) completing the lineup. With each band member playing multiple instruments and contributing to the writing process, they create unique sound that draws influence from blues, classic rock, hard rock, and funk. They perform with high energy, aiming to make crowds connect and dance. The group has been building a following around Chicago and released their second project, a 5 song EP, in January 2024. They are currently writing and recording their next work. Instagram: @elephantlore    YouTube: Elephant Lore

Wild, loose, and impossible to pin down, Free Joel feels most at home in a crowded room ready to move. The four-piece channels the raw swagger of the bands they grew up on, pairing restless guitar riffs with a relentless rhythm section. Rooted in blues-rock, Free Joel's sound has since evolved into a fast, punk-edged force built for dancing. The result is a sweat-soaked shot of pure rock ’n’ roll energy.
